    So I was scrolling through fb and this local bargain store (bargain depot) posted pictures of inventory, and one picture struck my eye, there was a Skorponok tucked away. Since this was last night, literally thought it was prob gone, well I went and checked and it was still there!

    Checked the contents, and $75 later, I have Earthrise Skorponok! 1E151FAF-BD23-48AC-8BC0-9FA4A8CF0554.jpeg F80D3956-68AE-4392-BD71-E33E80192278.jpeg 50BE1AF9-682C-42DB-902C-7C18B13AD856.png

    Literally just some hole in the wall I’d never heard of. Facebook ads posted some sponsor link and I looked through the pics and saw this skorponok in the bottom corner. It’s called Bargains Depot, over off 410 and Culebra Exit next to Texas Thrift. Wasn’t much else there TF wise, just a studio series Arcee. The salvage company stickers on the box are exactly the same as the the company dirt cheap uses, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it shows up at dirt cheap too.

    Thanks. Honestly I would’ve never even gone, I hate those ads lol. But when I saw the Skorponok I checked the address and it was 15min away so I checked in the morning for it. I think people didn’t buy it because the head wasn’t in the box. But I found the head on another shelf and paired the two.

    Huh! I wonder why they took the head out. That was extremely fortunate. I’m assuming both the Zarak head and scorponok head were there?

    Has anyone seen reissue Blaster in the Dallas area? I saw the posts sighting him in Houston. The day Brickseek showed him in stock I went to Walmart but there were none to be found. I saw an empty shelf with a tag for 'Soundblaster', which I assume is just a misprint.

    I think a kid tried playing with it. It was still sealed in that little box it comes in. So I just put it back in the box

    If you want to save trouble, Toy Dojo over in Austin has a couple cases in stock. I was just there Friday.

    The Wal Mart in Cedar Park across from HEB on 1431 had one SS Overload and two G1 Blasters.
